Door handle mechanisms

A door handle mechanism is the latch that fits into the edge of the door leaf and keeps the door fixed in the closed position. This mechanism is responsible for the door staying shut and not rattling. Even a good handle cannot work properly without a functioning mechanism. Exposhop offers door handle mechanisms in Tbilisi and Batumi with delivery across Georgia. 

How the mechanism works

The latch mechanism fits into the edge of the door leaf. When the door is closed, the latch bolt engages with the strike plate on the door frame and holds the door shut. When the handle is pressed, the bolt retracts and the door opens. A simple and reliable principle that works thousands of times without failure when made to a quality standard.

Material — steel

Mechanisms are made from steel. Steel provides durability and resistance to wear — the mechanism withstands years of daily use without developing play or jamming. A quality mechanism does not squeak, does not stick and requires no adjustment throughout its service life.

Universal — compatible with most standard handles

Mechanisms in the Exposhop catalogue are universal — compatible with the majority of standard door handles. They work with handles from our own catalogue as well as handles from other manufacturers with standard fixing dimensions.Standard parameters: backset 72 mm, distance from edge to centre 50–60 mm. Before purchasing, replace or measure the existing mechanism to confirm compatibility.

When does a mechanism need replacing

The door does not stay closed — the latch bolt has worn or broken and no longer engages the strike plate. The door swings open on its own or will not latch.The handle moves but the door will not open — the mechanism has seized or the internal drive has broken. The handle moves but the bolt does not retract.Squeaking and sticking when opening — the mechanism has worn out and needs replacing. Lubrication helps temporarily but does not solve the problem.Fitting a new handle — when replacing a handle it is recommended to replace the mechanism at the same time, especially if the existing mechanism has been in use for a long time.

Installation

Replacing a latch mechanism requires no specialist skills. Remove the handle, take out the old mechanism from the door edge, fit the new one, reassemble the handle. The job takes 15–20 minutes. Installation instructions are included with every mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether I need a mechanism rather than a handle? — If the handle moves normally but the door does not latch or will not open — the problem is in the mechanism. If the handle is loose or broken — the handle needs replacing. Sometimes both are needed at the same time.Will the mechanism fit my door? — Mechanisms are designed for standard interior doors. Measure the backset (from the centre of the handle to the centre of the mechanism hole) and the edge distance — and compare with the standard 72/50 mm. If in doubt, message us on WhatsApp.Can the mechanism be fitted without a specialist? — Yes, fitting is straightforward. A screwdriver or electric drill and 15–20 minutes is all that is needed. If the door is non-standard or the mechanism does not fit, it is better to call a fitter.Do you deliver to Batumi? — Yes, delivery to Batumi takes 3–5 days.
